Saudara Nor,It has often been said that Persistence is a great virtue, and if you say something long enough and often enough even the impossible can become a reality. You have proven in the past that you have this virtue and have exploited it well. It was your concerted effort to keep knocking on doors of the powers that be, that all holders of the JPP and the PTU are to day enjoying a substantial bounty every month. Perhaps if you keep engaging our Pak Jenerals they will come around your way of thinking. This is after all for the greater good of the country so that the young do not forget our history.

What made the athorities limit it to the SP and PGB holders as the only veterans that are able to relate their war experience, the holders of JPP,PTU and the KPK too should be included to share their experience.I also agree with you and think it is luchrious that we need the services of the 'Mat Salleh' to tell the World as in the 'History Channel' how we won this war when our own veterans who have first hand knowledge are ignored.

Thank you. I'm very frustrated with the Pak-Pak Jeneral. I strongly believe that the future service personnel MUST know the history of their predecessors. That's the reason I suggested to CDF that those surviving veterans be invited by the training establishments to tell their experiences . And secondly, these organisations have the budget to pay subsistence allowances to them.

In my letters to PLKN, I suggested that the invitations, besides the recipients of the Gallantry Awards, should include those who were maimed for life and involved in the operations against the communist terrorists.

Don't tell me heroes like Lt Col Dr Syed Othman is not qualified to be invited simply because he is not SP & PGB? To me, he is a role model of 'MALAYSIA BOLEH'...both eyes were blinded due to booby traps after 27 days of marriage but still managed to make it to the apex of tertiary education...PhD.

Way to go Tuan...insyaAllah...TQVM and i'm definitely grateful i found this blog of yours! Had those names mentioned in your entries noted (read about Lt Col Dr Syed Othman as well). These are the real, be them; sung/unsung heroes of our times. They came without fear and never let us down the foot soldiers. These are FRONT LINE-SOLDIERS who fought and won during insurgencies. It is GREATER THAN WINNING THREE FOOTBALL WORLD CUPS! Just imagine,if we lose, we lose Malaysia. It is not just a championship cup, it's the country.

My salute to these heroes. You deserve all my respect. God bless each and everyone of you - HEROES. THANK YOU.

As-salam Mej NorKeep up the good work. Keep on writing books, and articles for the local dailies. Insya-Allah more people will know what we want them to know through your writings. Semoga Allah memberkati segala usaha Mej itu.

TQVM in return Tuan, for without your assistance it would not have been possible. It's okay Tuan, though u may not be able to attend, your spirit of a hero @ warrior comes along with your comrades! Perhaps next time you could make it ya Tuan, insyaAllah.

p/s...Ambition?The Past - To be a soldier. The Present - The spirit of a soldier in me ;-D
